This volume illustrates the variety of William Morris''s prose, while focusing on one theme: the earthly paradise. The "Nowhere" of b>News from Nowhere/b> (1890) is England in 2102, an ideal pastoral society born out of revolution. It is as compelling a dream of the future as the nightmares of b>Brave New World/b> and b>Nineteen Eighty-Four/b>. Exhilaratingly, it reminds us that nothing is inevitable about the way we live now or in 1890.
